about
This song was inspired by a person I've admired for years.
lyrics
I am nothing, and that is worse than being something you despise
I thought it better to keep my heart out of sight
And when I sleep I'd make believe that you were mine
I am nothing, you wouldn't know, you couldn't miss me if you tried
Ten hundred days were sure to bury you outside
But I can't help but wander through your TV life
But oh there you are
You haven't lost your touch
I'll pretend I'm in a rush again
You are something, yeah you are something, you are someone I can't shake
And now we plant out roots in grounds of different states
I pray the rain will come and wash my lot away
And I've been wanting to talk it out, but I just don't know what to say
I can't adore you from afar and to your face
And I'm afraid that my pursuit is much too late
But oh there you are
You haven't lost your touch
I'll pretend I'm in a rush again
And oh there we are
In a nervous hush
You act kind and fake a blush again
Out in the pines, feeling so delighted
No need for a bride
You spoke my name and triggered
A false start, let it go
Just a false start, should've known
I thought it better to keep my heart out of sight
And when I sleep I'd make believe that you were mine
I am nothing, you wouldn't know, you couldn't miss me if you tried
Ten hundred days were sure to bury you outside
But I can't help but wander through your TV life
But oh there you are
You haven't lost your touch
I'll pretend I'm in a rush again
You are something, yeah you are something, you are someone I can't shake
And now we plant out roots in grounds of different states
I pray the rain will come and wash my lot away
And I've been wanting to talk it out, but I just don't know what to say
I can't adore you from afar and to your face
And I'm afraid that my pursuit is much too late
But oh there you are
You haven't lost your touch
I'll pretend I'm in a rush again
And oh there we are
In a nervous hush
You act kind and fake a blush again
Out in the pines, feeling so delighted
No need for a bride
You spoke my name and triggered
A false start, let it go
Just a false start, should've known
